Popis: Considering the expansion process of higher education within European Union, the paper aims at answering the question “what are the effects of higher education expansion on labour market (oversupply of graduates, over-qualification of graduates, skill mismatch)?”. Thus, the study provides evidence on both the evolution of higher education, in terms of input and output measures (enrolled students, public spending, graduates), as well as the evolution of labour market outcomes, emphasizing the progress EU member states recorded in meeting the national targets assumed through the Europe 2020 strategy. Also, the study offers some conclusions and policy implications.
